Junebug Productions Presents:
HOMECOMING PROJECT 2011

Celebrate Home
Saturday, December 3rd
12pm - 5pm

Join us as we celebrate home this Saturday in Treme with tributes to some of the people and places that undoubtedly make New Orleans HOME! What does home mean to YOU? Join us December 3rd to see and hear what home means to fellow New Orleanians, and tell your story too!

Junebug Productions is proud to present the inaugural installment of our new place-based storytelling performance series, HOMECOMING PROJECT, where YOU are the stars! Be a part of the process, be a part of the show - bring the whole family, bring the whole neighborhood - as we lift up our unique cultural heritage and take it to the streets so that we may preserve and continue our traditions that make New Orleans home.

HOMECOMING PROJECT will feature performances from the Hot 8 Brass Band, Kumbuka African Drum & Dance Collective, Michaela Harrison, and more!

Street art installations created by the Xavier University art students, under the direction of renowned New Orleans visual artist, Ron Bechet, will be unveiled along our Second Line route, and Institute for Womens & Ethnic Studies (IWES) will host a FREE Community Health and Resource Fair at the finale of the Second Line in the village of the New Orleans African American Museum at 1418 Governor Nicholls St. - rather than end our celebration of home with police sirens, we will conclude with community building and resource sharing.

Additionally, documentarian, Royce Osborne of "All On A Mardi Gras Day," will be filming HOMECOMING PROJECT for HCP's future documentary film short - be a part of history - be there!
